I wonder why holding a vigil for something that didn’t happen is so offensive to the government?

I've been on Lemmy late at night before in my time zone, which is prime time for the Chinese to be on Lemmy in their time zone. They are completely indoctrinated into believing this stuff never happens and their country is totally fantastic in every way.

China is the enemy to a free world!

This type of thing would never happen in the USA. Just shows you how amazing USA is vs China. USA is truly the land of free speech. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🗽🗽🗽

So do you really think you're making some kind of point here or something?

Just admit that the USA is the biggest protector of freedom of speech. No other country can you get away with saying whatever you fucking want. It's not 2 things being true at once. USA= free do say whatever the fuck you want.

Every other country= legalese that will land you in prison for a word
